Hi,

Till now we used cr-X1 Release2 version in our company and now we are planning to user the CR-2008 version. Is it the new version of crystal reports? i.e CR-X11? And also please let me know what are the new features added to it apart from flash, barcode and sorting option. It would be of great help if somebody would like to help me out.

Any idea when a service pack will be released to fix this issue?

According to the CR 2008 FAQ (http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_2008_faq.pdf):

Although RPT files authored in Crystal Reports 2008 are compatible with all XI and XI Release 2 servers, the new features in Crystal Reports 2008 will be ignored when these files are deployed to these servers.u2022 The Crystal Reports 2008 report designer is unable to log into these servers. This means the functionality that depends on an enterprise session is unavailable. If you are using one of these report servers, we recommend you use the Crystal Reports XI report design tool until the next generation of enterprise servers is available.u2022 The servers noted above will receive upgrades during 2008 that fully support the Crystal Reports 2008 report design and report deployment features.
